Sun is currently in Scorpio and he will enter Sagittarius on Thursday, December 15th<\/sup> at 10:20 a.m. EST. He will transit through Sagittarius until January 13, 2016. A couple weeks after that, Saturn is also going to move out of Scorpio and into Sagittarius.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sun is going to give us a preview of Saturn\u2019s big upcoming transit.<\/span><\/p>\n

The Sun symbolizes your soul, father, activity and vitality. Sun always spends 1 month in each sign and never goes retrograde. On the other hand, Saturn moves through a zodiac very slowly, taking about 2 \u00bd years per sign.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you look at the zodiac Saturn is transiting at any given time, it will be one of your 12 houses in your personal chart. It may be the 2nd<\/sup> house of finances and speech, the 10th<\/sup> house of profession, or etc. Whichever house it is for you, Saturn will bring up lessons and learning experiences in that area of life. This is why we pay a lot of attention to Saturn\u2019s transits.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saturn is a planet of limitations, tough karmas, discipline, and compassion. Sometimes he puts us through difficulties in order to make us more compassionate and humble. He is like a tough drill sergeant that you hate while you are in boot camp, but once you graduate you are immensely grateful for how he led you to grow and change.<\/span><\/p>\n

From Scorpio\u2026<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong>For the past month Sun has been lighting up Scorpio. Scorpio is the most occult of the signs, representing the hidden side of life and occult powers. It is a house of transformation, change, obstacles, and mysteries. It can relate to growth through pain, unearned wealth (like gifts and legacies), disturbing events, and long term health or illness.<\/span><\/p>\n

Scorpio\u2019s energy represents the kundalini, which breaks down anything that is blocking its flow. This can result in upheavals. If you have been experiencing upheavals, you may have had to learn to go with the flow instead of struggling against them.<\/span><\/p>\n

Saturn\u2019s presence in Scorpio may have led you to confront and take action to change the parts of your life that are no longer serving the highest good. You may\u00a0have experienced upheavals in life – transformation can be painful.<\/span><\/p>\n

Into Sagittarius<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/strong>As of this Thursday, Sun will be lighting up Sagittarius<\/strong>, which is the most idealistic of the signs. Here are some characteristics and areas of life indicated by Sagittarius: wisdom, fortune, philosophy, higher education, justice, fair play, ethics, and humanitarian actions. Sagittarius can give you optimism and help you to take leaps of faith and to be adventurous.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sagittarius is called Dhanus in Sanskrit. It\u2019s symbolized by a centaur. Centaurs are archers with the legs of a horse and the upper body of a man. The centaur has a bow and arrow and is pointing up toward the heavens. Here we can see the evolution from animal, to human, and to the divine. Sagittarius can help us focus on the transformation of matter into spiritual consciousness. On a practical level, aiming high leads you to have optimism.<\/span><\/p>\n

Sagittarius is also the natural 9th<\/sup> house of the zodiac, which brings in the energies of grace, compassion & fortune<\/strong>. It also relates to your father, your guru, and other teachers. It is a house of prosperity owned by Jupiter. Jupiter is the 200% planet of spiritual blessings and material prosperity.<\/span><\/p>\n

Dr Pillai says the easiest way to receive the grace of God is to feed someone who is starving for food. So if you want to receive grace & fortune, take an action for compassion. Do something to help people who are suffering.<\/span><\/p>\n
